GEYA is a Chester County, PA youth recreational soccer league located in the Glenmoore & Eagle PA areas. We offer Spring and Fall Soccer for youths K-12 and a HIGH 5 Soccer Program for children with special needs.

The spring season usually runs April to June. The fall season usually runs September to November. Check the HIGH 5 page for specifics. If your child is a new HIGH 5 player, Coach Matt will call you before the season begins to introduce himself and explain the program.

What does my child need to play?

Your player will get a HIGH 5 t-shirt on their first day that they should wear to every session, along with comfortable clothes and sneakers. They can wear cleats and/or shin guards if they want to, but they are not required. You can bring a water bottle for your player, but we always provide water. We also provide juice and a snack after the session. If your child has a dietary restriction, please let us know and we will try to accommodate it.

What is the cost?

There is no cost. HIGH 5 is free to all participants thanks to donations and GEYA Soccer.

What is the age range for players?

Players can be from 3 to 19.

What is the age range for buddies?
